MIMIE® Fuchsia: covering growth, prolific bright flowers, early and long lastingThis Lagerstroemia variety bred by Alain DABADIE had firstly been chosen for its growth as carpeting ground cover or weeping if the plant is stem trained. The cultivation takes on this shape naturally, without pruning. Further on, MIMIE® Fuchsia 'DABLAGE01' is floriferous right from its early age. It blooms precociously and continues all summer long producing successive new flowers. The 4 cm long florets in the form of remarkable raspberry red grapes can reach up to 30 cm. The flowering season is from mid June to mid October; these dates vary according to the climate.Finally, this cultivation only needs little or no maintenance. It is a healthy plant, no sensitivity to powdery mildew has been noticed. The novel shape, the precocity, the duration of the bright coloured flowers, it all allows an original use of the crape myrtle, and this even in a wide climatic zone. MIMIE® Fuchsia has its place as ground cover or, when grown as a small standard, is particularly considered for balconies and terraces and at last, more traditionally, in bushy clumps.Trophies: Silver medal at Innovert® 2017 nursery category (Nantes - FRANCE).

It is resistant to black spot, mildew and aphids.To be trained.
The CHIC of its perfumed flowers and the CHOC of its small silhouette!The "CHIC" : in June, the plant gets covered with very refined flower heads; the purple to deep pink tones of the buds are harmoniously emphasized by the pinkish white and then orangy yellow of the blossomed tubular flowers. This delicately scented cultivation is very floriferous and extends its flowering into September, in good conditions.The "CHOC" : this honeysuckle is surprising due to its dense and reduced growth.The opposite leaves with purple brown petioles have a greeny-blue colour. The shrub is semi-evergreen to evergreen, under temperate conditions.CHIC & CHOC® can be used in pots or planted in the garden.
A real innovation from French genetics : An easy maintenance goji with sugary sweet berriesPRINCESS TAO® is an exclusively French genetic goji variety, the outcome of the breeding work by FPW DEVELOPPEMENT.The discrete light violet flowering starts at the end of May. It continues in successive waves right through into September, finally reaching the tips of its branches. The fruits form rapidly and simultaneously. When ripe, the berries are beautifully bright red and shiny. The picking from July onwards is easy as the berries are bigger than those of the currently available market varieties. The fruits are sweet, not astringent and can be eaten fresh or dried. Under good conditions the fruit production continues right into November.From the first year of planting, a small quantity of fruit can already be picked.The naturally layered growth makes staking necessary. Thanks to the sweet taste of its fresh berries and needing only little water, as well as being mildew resistant, PRINCESS TAO® links delicacy and easy maintenance.
